Because of their outstanding mechanical and chemical properties, transition metal nitrides are widely accepted materials in the protective coatings industry. This work aims at elucidating the origin of their exceptional properties. The study concentrates o ...
A vast class of disordered conducting-insulating compounds close to the percolation threshold is characterized by nonuniversal values of transport critical exponents. The lack of universality implies that critical indexes may depend on material properties ...

The bone diagnostic instrument is designed to measure materials properties of bone even if it is covered with soft tissue such as periosteum, connective tissue and skin. It uses (1) a probe assembly, consisting of a reference probe that penetrates soft tis ...
Using the combinatorial material synthesis approach, materials libraries can be produced in one experiment that contain up to several thousand samples on a single substrate. In order to identify optimized materials in an efficient way using screening metho ...
Superplasticizers (SP) of the “new generation” are essentially polycarboxylate polymers. Polymers of this family can be produced with almost infinite variations in their chemical structure, which allow the fulfilment of specific (tailored) properties. Thes ...
The effect of gamma radiation on the physical-chemical properties of sodium alginate Algimar has been investigated. Dilution viscometry, densitometry, and FTIR spectroscopy served to identify modifications. Decreasing intrinsic viscosities clearly revealed ...
A method using O-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferases (AGT) is disclosed for transferring a label from a substrate to a fusion protein comprising the AGT. This allows the detection and/or manipulating of the fusion protein, both in vitro and in vivo, by a ...
The influence of film thickness on the material properties of aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films deposited on Pt(111) electrodes has been investigated experimentally by means of x-ray diffraction, dielectric response, atomic force microscopy, interferometry ...
Methods for the synthesis of dihydroazaphenanthrene fused to macrocycles I [X = CH2, O, Y = (CH2)m, m = 1,2,4,6, n = 1,2] and medium-ring heterocycles II (R1 = H, Me, CH2Ph, etc., R2 = Me, n-Bu, CH2Ph, etc.) as well as 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones, e.g. I ...
